GROUNDING
Grounding Setup
This appliance should be grounded to minimize
the possibility of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with an electric cord with an
equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding-type plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriately grounded outlet.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated below.
A temporary adaptor may be used to connect
this plug to a two-pole receptacle if a
grounded outlet is not available (fig. C1)
The temporary adaptor should be used only
until a grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician.
Grounding Installation
The green-colored rigid ear (screw and the
like) extending from the adaptor must be
fastened to a permanent ground, such as a
ground outlet box. (fig. C2)
1. Plug temporary adaptor into two-pole
outlet. (fig. C3)
2. Insert screw through rigid ear on temporary
adaptor and into grounded outlet box.
